I love the kimodo dragon...I find it lovely to look at and and amazing creature to learn about, I think it's great that they are managing to succesfully rear them in captivity...I hope that next they will be able to re-introduce captive youngsters into the wild so that numbers can multiply in their natural habitat and it doesn't become extinct.
